Manuela, save me!
LET'S GO AWAY
CALVARY STREET
ROOMS FOR WEEKS, DAYS, HOURS ALL YEAR (ALL YOUR LIFE)
Save me, Manuela, save me!
Save me, like I saved you.
when you were just the shadow of a star,
when you were just a bagful of stupid affairs.
Fruitless searches,
old beliefs and new beliefs.
Men every day, Manuela,
grief every night.
Brief pleasures which only brought awakenings amidst eternal hangovers.
All those vices I tore from your veins.
Answer me, Manuela, come on! Where can you have gone?
Answer me, and let's go away!
Let's go away into the world, it's ours!
A world that is yours and mine and hers!
-Hello. -I've got great news for you!
Manuela, honey!
Once they saw your book and C.V. and heard what I had to say,
the "Dia" supermarket people were really keen to meet you!
They probably want you to be their new image!
You'll be in movies again.
You mustn't let me down. See you at the agency, OK?
You see, dad? I knew she was with that lousy actress.
They seem really friendly.
Give it to me, you piece of ***! Give it to me, you hear?
That lousy actress is called Manuela.
And I've got nothing for her or you or anyone!
Can't you see you're taking more than you're selling?
*** you, anyway!
Do you think I'm a cretin, or what, Carmen?
I'm way ahead of you.
I know you keep it for her.
I bet you hide it on the kid.
Even dad knows.
You only call him dad when it suits you.
He isn't you father, he's mine. You're crazy.
You're crazy, saying in front of the kid that he's not my dad.
Dad, you're the Holy Spirit for me, aren't you?
Where the *** have you got it? Give it to me!
I know you've got it! Christ Almighty!
Thanks , Carmen.
I knew you loved me more than her.
Hello?
We're not equals,
that's what people say.
And that your life and mine
will both go to waste.
That I'm just trash
and you are decent.
That two different people
can't love each other.
But I loved you already
and I can't forget you.
And if you come with me
it's for love.
I don't understand all that stuff
about social classes.
All I know is you love me
TO MY PARENTS
as I love you.
